"I'll play for you all day" - O'Connell at his inspirational best! | The British & Irish Lions

Why isn’t he shouting

A traitor to Irish people. Makes me sick 🤢

Load of shite without the swear words which are purely contextual. Who the fuck would be "offended" by that ffs.Put them back in for gods sake.

What a statement to have on Owen Farrell CV,(I could play for u all day ),by the legend that he is Paul O Connell.and with a statement like that from the great man ,Owen must have been on cloud 9 for a while 2 great pkayers .

Hell of a player and man. What is it with International Second Rows either being heroes or villains. No inbetween

Was never in the class as a captain as a Dallaglio or Johnson.

I do not understand the rationale behind the lions. Why bother?

What an inspiration that man is ,if Paul o Connell says to a player (I could play for u all day ) you will go through a Brick wall for that man ,phenomenal Leader .

I would follow Paul O Connell into battle everyday of the week and I’m Australian ..!

True celtic warrior

Willie John McBride as Lions captain sat with the team in the changing room in silence for 10 minutes. Then at the end got up & said ‘Right . We know what we have to do.’
He led the highly successful Lions tour of South Africa in ‘74.
I’m not knocking O’Connell, but sometimes a lot of talk isn’t the most effective.

seen nothing inspiring there?

I even think he could motivate me 😂

Men like Paul O'Connell are carved out.. A true leader..
An outstanding player...
Just imagine earning that man's respect...

As an Irish man I have to say that I really appreciate the respect that the British players show the Irish. Kudos to the rfu and the various national bodies

Also the most impartial of commentators.

It's not happening broooooooooo! Make them pay lads

I only wish player like Paul born again

Who’s he saying that to?

Borussia Mönchengladbach no?

Great motivator.

He is at another level....

Love this sport for the people in the commentary below!! Decent people, good people!!

Such a better leader than Brand O'Driscoll

My favourite ever Rugby speech

He should have been our line out coach on this tour to battle against one of the best weapons in the South African arsenal. Paul is a genius in the line out & has been so effective for ireland in his short career as their line out coach.

Heart of a lion

You da man Oconnell, I'll play 4 u all day tooa bro boooom

Why does Paul O Connell sleep with the light on? Because the dark is afraid of him.

They should get O'Connell working down at the job centre, plenty of people would be getting up off the sofa in fear.

Would have been a good video if the expletives were not edited out ,it's an insult to Paul.

Sorry im an English fan but i have to say this....I was so gutted when O'connel retired as was a sensational player

Owen should put that on his CV

Farrell driving the Lions on, man those were the days, seriously needs to rejuvenate because he isn't even good enough for England these days.

Superman wears Paul O'Connell pajamas to bed.

What a leader

Couldn’t understand a word he was saying but was nodding like was in room

Did the British lions used to sing our national anthem ?

'22 yr old' - Anyone else would have mentioned that to humiliate the rest, but no, not this guy. He used it to inspire the rest. That's a true leader that cares for his team as a collective not someone that keeps all the high ideals in his head and demands all the time.
Bravo.

Need someone like to come into the liverpool dressing and shake them up

legend!

Imagine if the British and Irish Isles could get their act together again in a united manner in all things - not just rugby - we’d punch way above our weight around the world democratically, politically, technically and economically. I guess that is what the national socialists, foreign hostiles, petty localists and communists really don’t want to see again - and they have their way. A great shame because together as true brothers and sisters of these isles we have still a lot of offer - for a better world. O’Connell - a legend!

Goosebumps

Beamish.

I fucking love the Lions, and I love the way politics has Fck all to do with the team, Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh together, if only our politicians had the balls these players have, we’d all be a lot better off.

I see Richard Hibbert in the last shot , what ever happened to him?

I am french i understand nothing but Rowntree ears make me laugh all this video
